Lyrics

Once upon a time there was a beautiful world
Where everyone could live in peace and love.
Once upon a time the people always had time
To help each other and together them carried on.

But some of them, but some of them
Began abusing brothers to be the best,
Forgot about that unity with their vanity
And Babylon came along again.

But some of them, but some of them
Began abusing brothers to be the best,
Forgot about that unity with their vanity
And Babylon came along again.

And when you ask them why
Them so busy messing all around
With this fever for the oil and guns
While we trying to survive...
And when you ask them why
Them so busy messing all around
With this fever for the oil and war
While we trying to survive...

Unos que dicen que quieren la guerra,
Otros que dicen que no quieren ni verla
Y luego resulta que van por el planeta vendiendo las armas
Porque eso sí les interesa...
Y es que este mundo es una jaula de locos,
Todos con cabezas pero racionales pocos,
Unos por un lao, otros por el otro y nosotros en el medio
Sin voz ni voto.
¿Cómo voy a comprender esa idiotez, tanta hipocresía,
Tanta estupidez, p'a qué?
Todos sabemos que es por petróleo
No vengáis a contarnos un cuento otra vez...
¿ Y cómo voy a comprender esa idiotez, tanta hipocresía,
Tanta estupidez, p'a qué?
Todos sabemos que es por dinero
No vengáis a contarnos un cuento otra vez...

Once upon a time there was a beautiful world
Where everyone could live in peace and love.
Once upon a time the people always had time
To help each other and together them carried on.

¿Por qué abusan?, ¿por qué atacan?,
¿Por qué violan?, ¿por qué matan?,
¿Por qué por ese líquido negro
La vida ya no vale nada?
Pero ¿a quién voy a creer?,
Si ya no saben que hacer por tener el contro, por llegar al poder,
Empujándonos siempre hacia abajo p'a llegar arriba...

And when you ask them why....

That's why we have to unite,
Fight for the right to defend our lives,
Don't let them control you, don't let them fool you,
Don't believe them when they say that's right.

That's why we have to unite,
Fight for the right to defend our lives,
Don't let them control you, don't let them fool you,
Don't believe them when they say that's right.

No, no, no, no, don't believe them when they say that's right.
No, no, no, no, you don't believe them when they say that's right

Y es que este mundo es una jaula de locos,
Todos con cabezas pero racionales pocos,
Unos por un lao, otros por el otro y nosotros en el medio
Sin voz ni voto.
¿Cómo voy a comprender esa idiotez, tanta hipocresía,
Tanta estupidez, p'a qué?
Todos sabemos que es por petróleo
No vengáis a contarnos un cuento otra vez...

(Outro) Babylon came alone again, Babylon, Babylon...
